Adam Bogdan always had a feeling he’d end up back at Hibs after leaving in the summer.

The Hungarian was confirmed on a deal until the end of the season, having initially signed a short-term contract until January..

He’ll compete with Ofir Marciano for the number one spot at Easter Road, with Chris Maxwell’s season-long loan from Preston now taken on by Blackpool after the Welshman didn’t fancy hanging around as third choice.

Bogdan was initially brought to Edinburgh by Neil Lennon on a season-long loan from Liverpool in 2018, but went back to Merseyside last summer before his contract there expired.

The ‘keeper admitted he would have love to have made the deal permanent then, but previous boss Paul Heckingbottom opted to bring in Maxwell.

Now back at the club under Jack Ross, Bogdan is keen to pick up where he left off.

"I always had a little feeling that I could be back,” he said. “I don't know why. Life works in a funny way and I'm glad. That's the main thing.

"I came back for a weekend [earlier in the season]. We have friends here and I wanted to see the game.

“I really hoped that I could stay in the summer but that wasn't the case. Now we are here, six months later and I’m back at the club.

"There were opportunities to do things that I decided not to do in the end and a couple of options I would've loved but didn't work out, so here I am."

Bogdan joined Hibs on their Spanish training camp last week despite not being a signed player, and is under no illusions about what he must do to oust his friend Marciano from the team.

“I could have said, ‘don’t go, I don’t have a contract’” he explained.

“When there was a chance I could come back I wanted to start as soon as possible to be with the team, I didn’t want to miss out on the training camp because it was two sessions a day, it was good for fitness and sharpness.

“I just wanted to be part of the team. Both parties showed faith in each other.

“You come in and yes I know everybody and the place and it's comfortable for me to work here. But that's the key word; work.

“On training pitch and then if you get the chance, show it on the pitch every time. That's how it should work."
